Study Arms (2)

A

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients receive 3 cycles (cycle duration 21 days) of docetaxel (75mg/m²), cisplatin (75mg/m²) and 5-fluorouracil (750mg/m²) followed by Cetuximab (weekly, starting with 400mg/m² then continuing with 250 mg/m²) with radiotherapy (concomitant boost for 6 weeks). Active comparator is 5-fluorouracil for first three cycles.

B

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients receive 3 cycles (cycle duration 21 days) of docetaxel (75mg/m²), cisplatin (75mg/m²) Cetuximab (weekly, starting with 400mg/m² and continuing with 250 mg/m²), followed by Cetuximab (weekly 250 mg/m²) with radiotherapy (concomitant boost for 6 weeks). Experimental: cetuximab for the first three cycles.

750 mg/m² day 1 to 5 during 24 hours of 21-days cycle

A

weekly, starting with 400 mg/m² during 120 min.(saturation) then continuing with 250 mg/m²; duration 3 cycles with 21 days

Also known as: Erbitux
B

weekly, starting with 400 mg/m² during 120 min.(saturation only arm A) then continuing with 250 mg/m²; duration 7 weeks

Also known as: Erbitux
AB

First 18 irradiations once daily with single dose of 1,8 Gy for 5 days per week. In addition by day 19 a second irradiation boost will be applied for further 12 days(1,5 Gy per day with at least 5 hours interval to 1,8 Gy dose. This results in total clinical target dose of 72 Gy and total subclinical target dose of 54 Gy. Duration of irradiation: 6 weeks
